Élan Vital Cliffs of Burden lyrics
Cliffs of Burden
Élan Vital
GENRE
Take time to look and reflect
See the strain
For what, I gave my all?
For what, I fell for?
Oh. What's worth this?
This internal hell
God, make it stop
Let's play a little game
One move up, and 6ft down
I see the lake to drown this pain in
I see the lane to crash in
A win's a loss
One can hold the weight of the world
On their shoulders
But even titans fall
Show me what can keep me here
I cannot see, I cannot hear
A portrait of what's left of me
Is painted in my eyes
Tame the voices in my head
They speak when I hang by a thread
I can't go on
I can't go on
Please save me
(blind)
There's no more light to see
(deaf)
There's no one listening
(betray)
They've left you in the dust
(dead)
Just wake up
Please wake up
(no more)
This life is yours to live on
(release)
It's only the beginning
(see far)
It isn't easy but it's
Worth the time to
Go and live it
Cast aside the doubt I had
And the fear
And maybe just maybe
I'll find the will to carry out
My purpose
My purpose
While I walk in this shadow
Overtime, I've found comfort
In apathy
No!
It's crossed the line
It's gone too far to cope with
I'm done with this bullshit
I've tried again and again
To just block it out
But there's only one way out
Why
Is that the edge of it?
Why
Is it coming to this?
So I've stumbled
While I'm searching for release
From this constant
Surrender to failure, and never to rise
From keeping pace with the world
Around me
But all I ever do is
Fall back on my face
Not this time
No
I've found my spine
I can't stand alone
But with them
I don't have to (they'll keep me up)
(they'll rid my burden)
(I cannot feel the ground)
(I cannot hear them now)
(I can now see the sun)
(I can now smell the wind)
(calm your mind. You've won, brave one)
(you are not alone)
(I can see clearly now)
See the strain
For what, I gave my all?
For what, I fell for?
Oh. What's worth this?
This internal hell
God, make it stop
Let's play a little game
One move up, and 6ft down
I see the lake to drown this pain in
I see the lane to crash in
A win's a loss
One can hold the weight of the world
On their shoulders
But even titans fall
Show me what can keep me here
I cannot see, I cannot hear
A portrait of what's left of me
Is painted in my eyes
Tame the voices in my head
They speak when I hang by a thread
I can't go on
I can't go on
Please save me
(blind)
There's no more light to see
(deaf)
There's no one listening
(betray)
They've left you in the dust
(dead)
Just wake up
Please wake up
(no more)
This life is yours to live on
(release)
It's only the beginning
(see far)
It isn't easy but it's
Worth the time to
